About the Book

This comprehensive survey of British colonial governors’ houses and buildings used as state houses or capitols in the North American colonies begins with the founding of the Virginia Colony and ends with American independence. In addition to the 13 colonies that became the United States in 1783, the study includes three colonies in present-day Florida and Canada—East Florida, West Florida and the Province of Quebec—obtained by Great Britain after the French and Indian War.
